Davis vows to create an ‘open presidency’
Speaking at the official launch of her campaign in Dublin yesterday, Ms Davis accused the party of “reverting to type” by engaging in the kind of “negative campaigning that has made the Irish people so cynical about politics”.
It was recently reported that a consulting company with links to Fine Gael had been road-testing negative messages about Ms Davis — such as that she had been appointed to state boards by Bertie Ahern.
